The Future Starts Now – a 20×30 meter ASCII by Rikki Kasso, 2010. Placed on the Mejiro Kindergarten in Tokyo. The ASCII art was based on a photograph, infused with numbers and phrases about learning in English and Japanese. Rikki:
As I thought more into it, it became clear that this text in digital form also known as a “font” was also a brand new language that children will grow up with as an automatic second written language. A “Neo-Neanderthal” age where symbols and icons are used to reform communication.
ASCII-WM 2006 was a live ASCII-broadcast of the world cup in soccer. It was accessed about 15 million times – only via telnet. Apart from converting video to ASCII, it used the live commentary from Austrian TV, translated it to English with Babelfish, and put it in the stream.
The final matches were broadcast on local TV in Vienna with a speech synthesis reading the babelfishy commentary (see bottom image).
